FACT. Local Evidence. Evidence that can be verified. Fact is what we want. Opinion is not enough. Opinions differ. Here’s a Rensselaer fact. You can test it. Mrs. Aaron Hickman, N. Front St., 'Rensselaer, Ind., says: “In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney medicine on the market. I have taken them at different times when suffering from attacks of backache and other symptoms of kidney complaint and I have always had prompt relief. Over three years ago I first used them and they proved so satisfactory that I have had no desire to change to any other remedy. I was so well pleased with the 'benefit I received from my first trial of Doan’s Kidney Pills that I gave a statement for 'publication recommending them. Since then when I have heard anyone complain of kidney trouble or backache, I have suggested that Doan’s Kidney Pills be procured at Fendig’s Drug Store and given a trial. Different ones of my family have taken this remedy and like myself have been greatly benefited.” Fo'r sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

the application of protective tariff laws that equally protect the laboring man, the farmer, the producer of raw materials and the manufacturer. That we are heartily in favor of the reinactment of a protective tariff law that will.protect the farmers of oue country from the importation of farm products from foreign countries and thaffwill protect our laboring men from the cheap labor of Europe. We condemn the policy of the present administration for the tariff laws enacted by it that have depreciated the value of the products of the American farm and have lost employment to more than two million American workmen and that have made possible the formation of a second Coxey’s Army. We condemn the foreign policy of the present administration.We condemn the present democratic state administration that has increased our taxation without giving us any return therefor, the taxes derived from said increase being used for the purpose of paying salaries for office holders filling unnecessary offices and useless commissions. The state debt is being constantly increased and thousands of dollars have been borrowed and are now being borrowed to defray the expenses of the state. Resolved, that we therefore pledge ourselves to do all in our power to redeem the State and the nation from the dominant control of the democratic party and to restore the republican party to power and thus bring about a renewal of universal prosperity.
